Virginia Fishery Resource Grants available for commercial fishers | Virginia Institute of Marine Science Applications are open through January 5, 2026 for the Virginia Fishery Resource Grant Program (VFRGP). This program provides financial support to commercial fishers for initiatives that improve and protect Virginia’s marine fisheries.
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science’s Marine Advisory Program is now accepting applications for the Virginia Fishery Resource Grant Program (VFRGP), which supports innovative ideas from commercial fishers to improve and protect Virginia’s marine fisheries.
A basic principle of the VFRGP is that commercial fishers often have valid ideas for enhancing and protecting fisheries, but they lack the financial resources to experiment with innovations. The VFRGP invests in ideas generated by the fishing public through fair and competitive methods.
All applications submitted within the limits of the Guidelines for Submission will be accepted and reviewed for technical merit and the ability to address one or more of the specific priorities: New fisheries equipment and gear : The development of more environmentally friendly gear, methods to reduce by-catch, and more effective ways to handle catch.
Environmental pilot studies : Ways to restore damaged habitat, create new habitat, prevent habitat impairment, or reduce impact from fishing or aquaculture activities. Aquaculture/mariculture : Focus on ways to develop criteria and assessment for permits, increase return from investment in culture activities, or introduce new species to the existing aquaculture list to broaden participation in commercial aquaculture.
Seafood technology and utilization : Develop value added products from existing production, expand on underused or new fishery resources, create models for total quality system management programs, or increase returns in the seafood industry by improving packaging and handling.
Whether you're working on developing new gear, exploring aquaculture, improving seafood handling or restoring habitat — there’s funding available to help bring your ideas to life. Anyone actively involved in Virginia’s marine fishing industry, including aquaculture and seafood processing. Applications must be received by January 5, 2026.

The AFID Infrastructure Grant program closes October 30, 2026. Awards top out at $50,000, they are reimbursable, and only a political subdivision can apply. The August round put $507,000 into 14 projects at an average of about $36,000.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleNIH published its 'what we heard' summary on the proposed cap on simultaneous Research Project Grants in August 2026. A four-RPG cap would free $1.3 billion for about 1,900 additional investigators; a two-RPG cap would free roughly $3.5 billion for about 5,200. Respondents overwhelmingly proposed alternatives. Here is what the comment record actually says, what NIH signaled about next steps, and how PIs and research offices should position before a policy notice lands.
